The author started work for the L.M.S.R. in 1932, initially as a mason working on one of the viaducts near the high summit of the Settle & Carlisle. This was followed by a period as a ganger, also based on Garsdale - otherwise Hawes Junction. From this, he progressed to the ranks of the local goods guards, ranging not only over the S. & C. itself between Carlisle and Hellifield, but also over the L. & Y. route from the latter as far as Salford and beyond, and out to Carnforth and Barrow. A transfer as porter/signalman at Bolton Abbey for a spell was followed by promotion to signalman at a number of boxes in the area from Skipton to Ribblehead and on the `Old Road' from Settle Junction through to Clapham and Lancaster. On relief work, he saw duty at almost every box within these limits and this highly personal account of his two decades `on and off the locker' are recorded here in his own homespun style. In all, before retirement, he saw more than thirty years service on and around the Settle & Carlisle, from steam right through to the days of the diesels. In that time he became a well-known local character - not only as a railwayman but also as a poacher of some quite considerable repute. He now lives at Green Close near Clapham alongside the track-bed of the former Ingleton branch, in a house he built himself on the site of former railway cottages. In these pages, alas, space does not permit inclusion of any of the tales of his poaching days and ways, or of the wildlife of the Dales he loves so well . . .£45.00 -

For too long many people have failed to accord to The Daimler Company the credit which is warranted in view of its significant and unique contribution to the automobile industry and indeed to the British way of life.
From tenuous beginnings, the concern grew to attain a position of pre-eminence and unequalled esteem. From the time motoring began Daimler became in this country the `royal car'. Almost invariably at State and other important events through successive reigns, Daimler cars have been much in evidence — their dignity contributing to the occasion.
This work modestly seeks to give the Daimler car its rightful place in the history and tradition of British luxury cars.
The Daimler Tradition is all about superlatives in the realm of automobile engineering, coach-building and performance and about distinguished personages in whose lives the Daimler car played an intimate part.
The Daimler Tradition is a living tradition: after more than 75 years, Daimler cars are still in production and the history of the marque is still in the making.£20.00 -

The History Press 2011
4to paperback 224pp VG++ 570 gms
(Order reference 15245)In the 1950s Merseyside was a Mecca for steam enthusiasts; over 400 locomotives were allocated to the seven depots that serviced Liverpool and Birkenhead. This book covers the last twenty years of steam in Merseyside, when the area was the centre of commercial and maritime business. For the enthusiast, these sheds were places of magic, where giants of steam could be viewed at close range; for those who worked there, the experience was somewhat different as poor equipment and long shifts were commonplace. Shed Side on Merseyside provides a fascinating portrait of the daily operations of the freight and passenger trains of the region during the final years of Britain s steam era. First-hand accounts from staff including diary entries provide an insight into this period and contemporary photographs and drawings evoke the grimy, metal-clattering, smoke-filled industry, forever etched in our industrial heritage. Kenn Pearce spent his youth in Liverpool and nearby Widnes, where a gift of an Observer s Book of Locomotives aroused untapped interest in British Railways in the late 1950s. Together with like-minded schoolmates, he explored the grimy, sulphurous but enchanting steam sheds that serviced locomotives in and around Merseyside. Now resident in South Australia, he has forged a career in journalism and had a family. Throughout his interest in railways and in particular steam has been a continuing theme.

(Order reference 15371)When the Golden Age of Steam is mentioned, one train leaps to mind above all others the Flying Scotsman, Nigel Gresley's elegant masterpiece of a locomotive, which broke the world speed record in 1934 and has enthralled millions with its beauty and power. Uniquely, its postwar career has been even more varied and exciting than the early triumphs. The twists and turns of the tale are detailed here nearly abandoned on a tour of the United States after the money ran out, owned briefly and unsuccessfully by pop mogul Pete Waterman, and put up for sale yet again when the company that owned her went bankrupt in 2003. A massive public campaign saved her, and she is due to steam again in late 2007, after being restored at the National Railway Museum in York. Now, with the aid of numerous interviews with those involved with the Scotsman over the years, the story of the train and all who have owned and worked on it is brought alive.

Principles of Transport, now established as the successor book to Elements of Transport, was first published in 1973 and covers the fundamental principles and practices of movement by land, water and air. I t is essential reading for students preparing for the examinations of the Chartered Institute of Transport and Institute of Traffic Administration and also for those attending transport courses organised by universities and other educational establishments. Whilst the book is designed to cover the entire syllabus of the subject 'Transport' in the Intermediate examination of the Chartered Institute of Transport, it also has relevance to 'Control and Organisation of Transport' which is a part of the Final examination of the same Institute.The policy of illustrating theory by reference to actual practices has proved popular and has been retained. This approach, however, together with legislation, at least in Great Britain, enacted since 1973 has necessitated a substantial revision of the text, hence this second edition. Although the legal aspects of the subject relate to British law, transport as a science knows no political boundaries and the examples and illustrations are drawn from sources which are worldwide. Principles of Transport, therefore, whilst written primarily for educational purposes, will also have interest for the general reader.

The Edwardian era saw the City of Liverpool at its peak of confidence. Almost unchallenged in its commercial strength, the city did things in style. The electric tramways were a notable part of the success story that was Liverpool in the thriving pre-1914 years.
This volume resumes the story of Liverpool's trams and buses from the turn of the century and continues through the difficult years of the Great War and the turbulent nineteen-twenties. Many technical innovations are described in detail, on the cars and along the tracks, and the emergence of the motor bus is traced as it challenged not only the trams but the Corporation itself. Public transport made the city possible and now let it grow. These years saw housing estates, municipal and private, cover the green fields while trams and buses with perhaps the lowest fares in England supported the new suburban lifestyle. These were also the years when money could be made in road passenger transport and private bus operators indulged in cut-throat competition; encouraged by Liverpool's sometimes unfriendly neighbours the newcomers ended any monopoly the trams once had.
The reality of working life on the tramways is detailed, with short biographies of the major figures. The relationship between managers and men is traced as paternalism faded before the growth of trade unionism and inter-union strife.£30.00 -

Alley & Maclellan of Glasgow started to build the famous ‘Sentinel’ steam wagons in 1905, but long before that their trade name, ‘Sentinel’, had been carried world-wide on many other products, including stationary and marine steam engines, lighting plant, air compressors, valves, hydraulic units and ships machinery. Their ships, built on dry land’ were afloat also in many oasts of the world, including the Chauncy Maples which still plied on Lake Malawi in the 1970s.Later the Sentinel Waggon Works, known affectionately as ‘The Sentinel', became a separate entity, and through the famous Super and 'D.G.' waggons developed the design until with the 'S'-type it became known as the Rolls-Royce of steam waggons.
Other products included steam tractors and portable engines, the well-known Sentinel-Cammell railcars, and rail locomotives for both freight and passenger traffic.
This book tells the story of the business from its earliest days until 1930, with its products, prices, and personalities. It will be enjoyed not only by lovers of steam on road and rail, but by any student of technological history, to which it makes an invaluable contribution.
